Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. Joel A. Barker
Reaching for goals can be scary for many reasons. First off, we may not know exactly what we want, so we don't take any action.
Or, we may know what we want but may falsely believe we don't deserve it. You know, those voices in your head that always chatter away in the back of your mind easily talking you out of things.
And, let's not forget the idea that we know what we want but we don't have any idea how to go about achieving it. Then, we get busy and the next thing you know, a year has passed and you're no closer to the goal.

The best portion of a good man’s life, - his little nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love. - William Wordsworth
I always know when someone loves his or her job. There is something about them that shines out.
At first glance, it’s an energy. A force field surrounds them where they live by themselves, focused on their world. No one may enter their space. No one is allowed to interrupt their flow or steel their joy.
At a second glance, it’s enthusiasm. They hum along doing their duties with efficiency and a light heart. A spring in their step is coupled with a touch of drive. This enthusiasm allows them to move beyond their force field to reach out to others and share …
